We are looking to create a custom Linux VM Image on Windows Azure which will have the Hortonworks Hadoop distribution. The successful applicant will create Linux VM (Preview role on Azure) and will set it up so that the Hortonworks Hadooop distribution is installed. The VM must be selected from the templates offered by Azure and more specifically the Centos 6.2 template.

Once the VM is created (and tested), a log listing the steps should be produced and submitted. The succesful applicant will be using our own Azure account and will not incure any charges.

There are links of how to setup a VM with the Hortononworks Hadoop distribution and the succesful applicant will have to adapt them to work with the Centos 6.2 VM (minimal installation - no gui) role on Azure.
